I used my old 3 rib bell housing. I have heard of machining the 6 rib bell housing to accept the beetle starter. Curt knows how to make a Rabb

Yeah, Kennedy makes an adapter that you bolt on to a certain model of the diesel rabbit starter that makes it fit the 3-rib bellhousing ($45, I think).

Supposedly the starter lasts forever, turns quick, and is made to turn over high-compression diesel's so it'll turn over even V-8's. On top of that, the starters are cheaper than hi-torque vw starters (get one at autozone, and if it ever fails, trade it in for a new one).
